Seattle Photography that Celebrates Who You Are and Who You’re Becoming

Elevated imagery. Effortless experience.

I’m Jaimie — a former corporate communications strategist turned full-service photographer with an eye for both emotion and detail. Whether I’m capturing your growing family or your growing business, I design every session with intention so you feel completely prepared, confident, and taken care of every step of the way.

Capture the moment

Make your favorite memories last longer, with beautiful photography that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Stress-free sessions

My process is built around you. No matter how busy your life, family, or business is, your photo session will be smooth, and dare I say, enjoyable.

Look and feel beautiful

From wardrobe to hair and makeup, every detail is taken care of for you, so you just show up and feel the best you ever have in front of a camera.

Life Is Short

Slow it down with stunning family photography.

We make your favorite memories last longer, with beautiful photography that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. As a mom of three, I know the challenges of finding a family photographer. That’s why I’m here to guide you every step of the way, making the process easy and fun so you get stunning portraits you’ll love.

I specialize in newborn, maternity, and family sessions for busy parents just like you. My hands-on, full-service approach means you can simply show up and relax as I capture amazing photos that last a lifetime. Sessions are offered in-studio in Mercer Island, outdoors, or on-location in Washington – we’ll decide together what setting makes the most sense for your vision.

“We had the most amazing experience with Jaimie Birtel Photography! Jaimie was so sweet and welcoming — from the moment we walked into her studio, she made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond during our session with baby Rami. Not only did she capture the most beautiful, professional photos (they truly blew me away!), but she also cared for him like he was her own. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and pours her heart into every detail. I can’t recommend her enough!”
- Yaz
"Jaimie is wonderful to work with, and immediately puts you at ease, even if you dread ‘picture day’. If you're looking for a friendly photographer whose product is natural and beautiful, look no further!"
– Elizabeth
“For my pregnancy, I got the privilege of working with Jaimie again! She stunned us with the photos from our in-studio session. My daughter joined in some of the photos as well, which made the session incredibly special and memorable. Jaimie was so professional yet personal, which was the perfect combo to help me feel so comfortable in my pregnancy body. Her client's closet is a must instead of purchasing items for a one-time photo use! Thank you, Jaimie!”

Your Business is Growing

You need brand photography to match this new era of business.

When your business reaches a certain level, your imagery becomes non-negotiable. As a brand and headshot photographer, I work with Seattle business owners and executives who want photography that communicates credibility, confidence, and authority at a glance.

My full-service brand photography experience includes strategic planning, professional styling, and hair and makeup, so your images feel cohesive, elevated, and aligned with your goals. This isn’t about “just updating your photos” — it’s about positioning your brand for where you’re headed next.

GET IN TOUCH

“I was blown away after working with Jaimie on my brand photos. I needed professional new photos for my agency and she over delivered. I'm so thrilled with how they turned out and can't wait to see them in action on my website!”
- Molly
“Jaimie was amazing to work with. She photographed my staff of 10. Several were 'camera shy', but Jaimie put them at ease and got amazing photos. She also took photos of my med spa, along with staff doing mock treatments. I am blown away by what she was able to accomplish. I highly recommend Jaimie!”
- Debbie
“I was lucky to grab a spot during a recent mini marathon day, which was a fantastic experience. It started with a full face of makeup with a professional makeup artist who made sure it was tailored to my style. It was such a treat to just show up and have someone else take care of my makeup and flyaways.”
